Fargo Force take on the top team in the USHL tonight as they take on the Omaha Lancers. Two of their top forwards, Matt White (49 points) and Erik Haula (40) are nearly doubling the scoring leaders for the Force. Fargo will have to step up their defensive game against Omaha's top line. Omaha's talent doesn't drop off there. Omaha has three other 20 point players in Seth Ambroz, Dakota Eveland and defenseman Dennis Brown.

Last time the Force faced off against the Lancers in Omaha, they were able to come away with a 5-2 win. That game was played at a time when the Force were not playing their best hockey in October. If Fargo wants to consider themselves in the top echelon of teams in the USHL, they will want to beat Omaha again and move two points closer to the top.

Fargo is coming off a comeback victory against Team USA U-18 team 4-3 on New Year's Eve. Omaha is coming off a 5-3 win over the Musketeers in Sioux City.

The list is in two parts: The "Listing By College" page lists the NCAA schools and the players who have reportedly committed to them. The league and geographic pages contains a listing of players who have done well at the junior or minor hockey level, and therefore may attract NCAA attention. These pages of potential NCAA recruits are based upon the information available to me, and do not represent the views of the NCAA or any of its teams. Accordingly, many players who may attract (or in fact have already attracted) NCAA attention may not yet be listed because that information has not come to my attention. The listing of school commitments reflects reported verbal commitments to attend the school. Although verbal commitments are not legally binding until the player signs a binding NCAA Letter of Intent ("LOI"). Players who have signed a LOI are noted in bold. All other listings are of reported verbal commitments. (Ivy league schools do not use a LOI, so all commitments are verbal commitments only.)
